  • Primer
  • Foundation
  • Concealer
  • Setting Powder
  • Bronzer
  • Blush
  • Highlighter
  • Eyebrows
  • Eyeshadow primer
  • Eyeshadow
  • Eyeliner
  • Fake Eyelashes
  • Mascara
  • Lip liner
  • Lipstick 

Day cream and a primer

Start by applying a day cream and a primer. This is the basis for a fantastic make-up look. With a hydrating day cream like the Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre you make sure your skin feels soft. This day cream contains a unique formula that locks in moisture and absorbs excess sebum. This way your skin will glow for the rest of the day. Add a primer to this to create the perfect base.

Applying foundation

The next step in your routine is to apply foundation . It is wise to choose a foundation that has good coverage but not too thick. If the coverage is too thick it can look very unnatural. The NYX Professional Makeup Make 'EM Wonder Foundation is a lightweight foundation with a soft matte finish and buildable coverage. It lasts up to 24 hours, even with sweat and water, and blends out easily to an even result without a cakey effect.

Applying concealer

Now apply your concealer to lighten certain areas of your face and to cover up stubborn imperfections. You can use concealer under your eyes, on the bridge of your nose, and on your chin. The LA Girl HD Pro Concealer is a cream-based concealer and comes in a tube with a brush at the end to apply the concealer evenly and precisely. If you are using a color corrector against bags or dark circles, for example, it is wise to apply it under your foundation.

Time for bronzer

Now add a bronzer to your look to add warmth to your face. Apply the bronzer subtly under your cheekbones and on the sides of your forehead. Applying the bronzer on the sides of your nose will make your nose look a lot narrower. If you have harsh lines, it is important to blend them away well with a brush.

Highlighter for a glow

The next step is your highlighter for a glowy and shiny base. There are liquid and powder highlighters. For the most natural result, it is best to choose a liquid highlighter . Apply the highlighter to your cheekbones, brow bone, cupid's bow and the top of your nose bridge. The Balm Mary Lou Manizer is a highlighter, blush and eyeshadow in one: a real bestseller.

Blush gives your face color

By applying a blush in a soft pink color you create the most natural make-up look. The Milani Baked Blush Dolce Pink 01 is a silky soft blush. This blush is fantastically pigmented and easy to use. You use it by taking some color with your brush and tapping off the excess product. Then apply the blush lightly to the apples of your cheeks.

Accentuate your face with an eye shadow

Now that the base for your make-up look is completely finished, you can start on your eye look. By using an eye shadow you accentuate your face. When you apply eye shadow for the first time, it is wise not to choose a darker color right away, this to prevent a panda look.

Use a brown eyeliner

After applying eyeshadow, you can choose to go along your waterline with a brown eyeliner. It is best to choose a brown eyeliner because this color looks more natural and softer than when you use black.

Mascara for big and beautiful eyelashes

Before applying your favorite mascara, it is best to curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. With the Boozyshop Eyelash Curler you can easily give your lashes the perfect curl to make them look longer.

Awesome eyebrow look

The next step in your routine is your eyebrows . Anastasia, the founder of ABH, specializes in eyebrows. She has been doing the eyebrows of all of Beverly Hills and the surrounding area for years. The ABH Dipbrow Pomade, for example in Medium Brown, is an intensely pigmented eyebrow pomade that allows you to create fuller, natural-looking eyebrows. You can apply this product super easily with the Brush 12 and the spoolie. Please note that you only need to use a very small amount of the product at a time.

Lipstick with a lip liner

The very last step in your routine is the lipstick with a lipliner. With this you put the accent on your lips. There are so many different colors available. Do you fancy a bright color, or do you prefer something less striking?
